Forbidden City

Chapter 178 The Gate of Life and Death

I found myself on a bridge, the bridge was more than ten meters wide, and the surrounding area of ​​the bridge was still covered with gray mist, except for the whole environment on the bridge, the surrounding area was covered by the gray mist.

My intuition tells me that I can only go forward. I don't know what is ahead, but I am very eager to see.

The white stone slab under my feet seems to be white and smooth marble, but there is also a strange feeling. My feet seem to be soft when I step on them. I seem to be walking, and I seem to be drifting. Floating, but also seems to be static, has never changed, this feeling is very strange.

I don't know how long I walked, it may be a few minutes, it may be a few hours, it may be a few months, or it may be a century, I feel like a dream, but this dream is very clear, I can even feel my breathing , own heartbeat.

Finally, I came to the end of the iron bridge. A hundred meters away, an extremely huge mountain wall with a height of hundreds of meters stood in front of me, as if it was pressing down on my heart.I have never seen such a high mountain wall at close range. The entire mountain wall is very smooth, without any gaps or plants. It seems that it was chopped down by a great supernatural being. The blade cuts the entire mountain wall to perfection.

At this time, the fog around me began to form again, and my body floated up involuntarily, to a position hundreds of meters high in the air, and then quickly approached the mountain wall.

I saw a hundred meters away, in the middle of the mountainside, there are two huge stone gates, and I can see that the gates are at least 50 meters high!On the giant gate, there are three flying characters: Gate of Life and Death!

These three characters are in traditional characters. I don't know which dynasty they belong to, but I can recognize them.The three characters are very illusory, as if they are wrapped in mist, floating in the air, changing at any time; and they seem to have been engraved on the mountain wall for thousands of years, lying there quietly and sleeping.

The giant gate was ajar, and gusts of sinister wind hung from time to time through the gap of more than ten meters wide, blowing away the mist approaching the giant gate in all directions, and there was no sound in the whole space except the sound of the wind.

Not long after, there was a rumbling sound from the giant door. It seemed that a pair of invisible hands pushed the two doors to the two sides with great force. With the opening of the giant door, the wind turned into a strong wind, instantly blowing all the The mist blew away, making me stagger and almost fall.

After the fog cleared, I realized that I was not floating in the air. My feet were still white marble. Behind me was a suspension bridge leading to nowhere. Under the bridge was a bottomless cliff.

My consciousness is very clear, but the strange thing is that I know very clearly that I am dreaming, so I am not afraid of any weird things happening.Dream, naturally not afraid.

At this time, a white phantom floated out of the gate, very fast, and it came to me in the blink of an eye. I was quite frightened by this sudden scene.

But... when I saw the face of the person who came, I was stunned!

In front of me is a very beautiful woman, her eyes are very similar to mine, her melon-seeded face, willow-leaf eyebrows, she looks 24 or [-] years old, but her complexion is a little pale, with a bitter look on her face, and in her eyes, there is this endless miss...

This woman... turned out to be my mother!I was blindfolded all of a sudden, trembling all over!The mother I thought about day and night finally appeared in front of me!

"Feng Feng..." My mother was very emotional, she stretched out both hands to grab my hand, but, I saw my mother's hand turned into a phantom and passed over my pocket, I only felt a little wind.

"Mom..." At the same time, I hugged my mother. After so many years, I finally found my mother!Tears came out of my eyes involuntarily. These tears were tears of longing, tears of pain, tears of excitement, tears of wishing for happiness, and tears of hatred.

However, I didn't hug my mother, but rushed to nothing, and almost fell to the ground, my body passed through my mother's body!

why?I understand, the mother in front of me is a ghost, and it's the weakest kind of ghost, which can't even condense into a solid body!
Is mom dead?My whole body was like a lightning strike, frozen in place.

I forgot all of a sudden that it was a dream.

My mother looked a little sad, but she was still very excited, "Feng Feng, I finally met you. When you were almost five years old, your mother left you. Mom is sorry for you..."

How much I want to hug my mother, how much I want to talk to my mother at night by candlelight, and tell my thoughts about these years, how much I want to ask my mother what happened these years, and I want to know why she abandoned me!

However, my mother didn't give me an answer. My mother said, "I had no choice but to leave you back then. Your father sealed your life of the five elements, so at that time he changed your name to Yu Feng, which means sealing everything and letting you die." You can't practice Taoism for the rest of your life, so you can live a mediocre life, but I didn't expect that you still became an onmyoji. Hey... It's really not as good as the sky..."

The fate of the five elements?Dad sealed me?I immediately understood that my father is the old cat. The old cat who defeated the nine major sects and killed all the four major families was my father!

This news is so shocking, I can't even imagine that my dad is so strong!
I asked loudly: "Mom, tell me what happened that year? Why did you leave me with Dad? Why?" I couldn't wait to know the answer, I wanted to know everything.

The mother's expression was very troubled, and she said helplessly: "Feng Feng, don't ask any more questions, I can only tell you so much, don't investigate anything, since you are an onmyoji, you should keep yourself safe. Also, you'd better leave Girls from the Mu family stay away, don't reveal your identity, don't tell anyone your father's identity."

I was full of doubts, but my mother didn't say anything, she just told me not to investigate this matter, she and my father are both dead, now I have a dream to meet me, the most important thing is to tell me to get out The method of Huangquan, and the address of the White Dragon Temple, and more importantly, let me stay away from Mu Yiyuan.

The more my mother talked about me, the more confused I became. My mother is already dead, why not reincarnate?Why are ghosts still there?Can you still dream?Since I came to Huangquan, can you still talk to me?Why do you have to draw a clear line with Mu Yi and not associate with her?

But my mother only told me that she could sense my existence only when I appeared in a very dark place, so she tried to talk to me.As for other issues, my mother didn't tell me.

"Yun Niang! How dare you deceive the Dharma Guardian and leave without permission! Hurry up and return to your seat!"

Suddenly, a ruthless roar reverberated in the whole space. With the roar, two huge iron chains flew out of the giant door and shot towards us. I was taken aback, and my mother yelled at me, "Feng Feng, run!"

My mother's hand pushed me violently, and a huge force pushed me more than ten meters away, and smashed me hard to the ground.

And the two iron chains were directly wrapped around the mother's body, and the mother seemed to be in great pain and was struggling violently.

"mom……"

I yelled and rushed forward, but I couldn't catch my mother who was close at hand, everything seemed unreal.

"Feng Feng, remember what I said! Don't investigate anything, don't associate with Mu Yi! Don't trust anyone, not even your master..."

"mom……"

I saw a raging fire ignited on the iron chain, and my mother's body was quickly wrapped in flames, and then with a whoosh, the iron chain pulled my mother into the giant door with a huge force.

I ran to the giant gate like crazy, but there was a rumbling sound, and the giant gate closed.

Everything returned to calm, only my heart-piercing roar was left.

"Mom! Mom..." I woke up in the tent, sweating all over my body, short of breath, and my heart was beating violently. The scenes just now hit my mind, making me unable to calm down for a long time.

I tried my best to calm down and drank a few sips of water.I think back to the dream I had just now, and I know that dream is definitely real!Because ever since I came to Huangquan, the voice that rang in my heart was my mother's voice!This is not an illusion at all!
